This is the entry-level model for the Leica S medium-format system. The camera offers practically all technical specs of the Leica S (Type 006).

It has a large 30 × 45 mm, 37.5-megapixel Leica Pro Format sensor and its micro-lens layer that the company says guarantees consistently uniform brightness from corner to corner. The camera is extremely ruggedly built and sealed against dust and rain.

The system’s dual-shutter concept offers photographers the choice of using the camera’s focal plane shutter with speeds up to 1/4000 sec. or the electronically-controlled central shutter of the CS lenses that allows flash sync at shutter speeds up to 1/1000 sec.
